The Haley Boutique: Rogers, AR

Some of the Haley Boutique's accessories and undergarments merchandised on a Parson's style table display.

My coworker, Carly has been going on and on about how cute this shop is, and since they are having a Christmas in July sale right now, my friend Kristin and I decided to check it out.


Me, shopping: butterfly sequin top (thrifted), black denim shorts, Tahari sandals.

 5 out of 5 for overall presentation 

and special touches

The store is reasonably priced with items ranging from about $25-80. Almost everything that was on sale was about 75% off. I got some pretty sweet deals! More on those pieces soon... in the mean time I thought I would share some photos with you of the store. Thanks to the associates who gave permission to photograph!

Helen (center) was the one who helped me first. All the girls were very nice and helpful!
First of all, I have to say, the storefront was in a strip mall, which would normally make it hard for a  newer place like this to stand out, but they had a bubble machine outside the open doors, which added to the fun atmosphere. When I entered the shop, there was a cute butterfly display on the right and some free mini-cupcakes on the left for customer to enjoy. I thought that was a nice touch.


Cute: Cupcakes for shoppers!

The store associates were just the right amount of helpful. They weren't too pushy like some boutiques can be, though they were eager to take the items off my hands and put them in a dressing room for me so I didn't have to shop with my arms full. Before I knew it, I had picked out ALOT of clothes. But no worries, they didn't rush me in and out of the dressing room. As I tried things on, if I didn't want something, I set them outside the door, and they seemed to magically disappear (again, very helpful).

The dressing room area with a lovely accessories display!
 Once my friend Kristin had finished shopping, they held her items at the counter while I continued to try things on. She wasn't stuck being bored waiting for me because there was a nice little seating area with magazines outside of the dressing room space. I love the look of the nook which featured accessories merchandised to look sort of like little cubes with pieces of art lit up inside.

Seating area with magazines for Kristin to read while I tried more clothes on!

The only downside I found was that there were a few items on the racks that had some makeup on them (but barely- I mean my eye is trained as a technical designer to see this, and my bet is that the associates just hadn't seen it yet to spot clean or remove). This can be the case at any store that ladies shop at, so it didn't bug me too much.

Overall I would give the store a 5 out of 5 for overall presentation and special touches (like playing Christmas pop music for their Christmas in July sale, the mini-cupcakes, mint green tissue paper around my items, and the bubble machine). As a fashion insider, I would say the store owners put a lot of work into making this place a go-to place for local shoppers.

Bonus: One more thing, students get a 10% discount!


It didn't apply to me, however, because I am not in school. I already got a sweet discount because of the sale: I got about $400 worth of clothing for 93 bucks! I would definitely go back at sale time and I think it would be worth checking out again, even if there isn't a sale, when I need to find a cute new outfit for work or play.

I loved their selection of studded purses!

Great atmosphere.  Nice associates.  Pretty selection.


I highly recommend you check it out! See their Facebook page for more information.
